Well, as (I hope) you may have noticed, it's been a bit quiet around here... there haven't been any new blog posts for a while. I can now reveal that there's been a pretty good reason for that.

You see, I have been putting every waking moment into launching a new venture, one I am pretty excited to tell you about.

My love for makeup is no secret, and there is a special place in my heart for cool and awesome indie makeup brands - I love the geeky collections, the unique colours, the attention to detail, the great prices - they're my favourite kind of makeup.

Being in Australia, though, they're not always easy to get - when you can find them, the shipping charges can be nasty - you either pay up, or organise a group order, or use a freight forwarder.. it's all a bit of a hassle, really.

Wouldn't it be awesome if someone was just shipping all the cool stuff here so you could buy it locally??

Well.. that's exactly what I am going to do. What I have already done, actually, as you'll see when you have a look at my shiny new makeup store - Beauty Bohemia.

I have, to my great delight, gotten some fantastic brands on board for my launch - Concrete Minerals, Glamour Doll Eyes, Shiro Cosmetics, Medusa's Makeup, Masquerade Cosmetics - and that's just the beginning, there are many more coming. I'm adding stock just as fast as my fingers can create the listings!

Please have a look and tell me what you think, your comments and feedback are very much appreciated.

Fashion Adjacent?

Instead of "Fashion Forward" - where being "trendy" or "on trend" or "ahead of the next trend" is most important - be "Fashion Adjacent". You're aware of current trends, but you know that this season's trends are an optional dress up party, to be indulged in or ignored as your personal style dictates.

If you are "Fashion Adjacent", you:

Forget "trendy" and wear things you love whether they are "fashionable" or not.
